Cloches - Newsboy

Cloches were at the height of popularity in the Roaring '20s when they were worn by fashion-savvy flappers and young debutantes. Today, they remain a fantastic hat option if you're looking for a cute, timeless look! The bell-shaped design and down-turned brim on a traditional cloche make it a wonderfully flattering and feminine shape. Hats.com has a wide selection of cloches that come in many different colors, fabrics, and decorative trims!

The popularity of the charming cloche style has been bolstered by a surge of interest in the hit television show "Downton Abbey". The upper class women depicted in the show have a refined approach to fashion highlighted by absolutely incredible headwear that includes elegant cloches. Brands like Betmar, Helen Kaminski, and Bollman Hat Company are adept at blending classic fashion with fresh designs to produce a stunning selection of gorgeous cloches.

Newsboys feature a paneled design -typically 8 panels on the crown- that give the cap a flat, wide look reminiscent of classic golfers and “newsies” from the first half of the twentieth century. These caps usually have a button on top and a small brim jutting from their front. Aside from solid colors, Newsboys often come in traditional patterns like tweed and plaid. Shop our brands like Bailey of Hollywood, Kangol, Borsalino, and Goorin Brothers to get that perfect old school look!
